Here are five top ideas for video game themed birthday parties for kids:

Minecraft Video Game Party

For kids who can’t get enough of the blocky world of Minecraft, a Minecraft-themed party is the way to go. Set up a “crafting station” where kids can make their own Minecraft-inspired creations, and have a “hunger games” style challenge in the backyard.

Pokemaniacs will love a Pokemon-themed party complete with a “Poke-ball hunt,” a “battle tournament,” and a “Pokemon trainer obstacle course.” Don’t forget to have lots of Pokemon decorations and snacks, like Pikachu-shaped rice krispy treats.
